Photos from Malaysia

Thomas sent home lots of photos and here are a selected few.

The first week in Sibu, Thomas and his companion, Elder Ajek, witnessed the baptism of one of the people they taught.

The second week there, Thomas went to Mukah, a coastal town nearby, for a zone conference, where the 10 young missionaries in the region met together for training and some activity.

Got up really early in the morning to catch the 5:30 AM bus to Mukah.

One of the luxuries in Sibu is a McDonald's fast food place. Because Bintulu, the place where Thomas spent the last 8 months, does not have any McDonald's, Thomas is frequenting this McDonald's often during the first two weeks there. One time, as documented here, the place was exceptionally busy and Thomas had to wait a long time for his turn to place the order.

The church is on the top floor of the building at the end of this street.

Here are a set of photos from Bintulu, during the last week of Thomas' assignment there.

Not sure if Thomas caught anything.

Someone got a big one.

Over the three days between Thomas being notified about his move to the day of the move, Thomas visited lots of people he taught.

More family visits.

been cooking Thomas' favorite dish for him all the time.

One of the family lived over the hill and
this is Thomas' last trip up the hill.
